Our Information

Teague's
Home for Women, previously known as Green's Home for Women, is a
non-profit agency providing shelter to homeless women in the form of a
home-style environment with strict guidelines that teach/re-teach
personal hygiene, manners, life skills, and tackle all the elements that
are preventing them from becoming productive members of society.

In the year 2010, Green's Home for Women transitioned
to Teague's Home for Women. It is our belief that individuals,
groups and organizations that had an annual standing of donations to
Green's Home for Women were not notified of the change in name.
For this reason, Ms. Alberta Green requested a letter be placed on the
old website explaining the situation with the hope of educating all
contributing parties. You can find a copy of this letter at:
Green's Home for Women's Letter.

While the name Teague's Home for Women maybe new to
some, we still operate by the original standards set up by Ms. Alberta
Green.

All the women that find themselves at Teague's door must be ready to leave
the drugs and alcohol behind and accept a new way of life that includes
pride in oneself, training for job skills and employment, and be willing
to bring God into their lives.

The rules and life-style maybe
simple but the road is often long and hard. For this reason,
accommodations at Teague’s Home for Women are always a full capacity.

Our Vision

Continue to pass along God's goodness until all women are substance
free while living the life God created for them.

Our Mission

Teague's Home for Women provides a safe and secure home-style
environment that allows homeless women an opportunity to build
self-esteem, eliminate substance abuse, find job placement and secure a
better place for themselves.

Purpose:

To provide emergency short and long term
shelter, help and refuge for women.

To provide help in personal, social and professional
development and use social services that maybe available.

Her Story:Back in 1999, I was wrongfully charged and incarcerated until
2012.Under the advisement
of our local Legal Aid office, I met Albert Green.She immediately accepted me for who I am and fully understood my
story.

It was under Alberta’s guidance that I learned
the rules of the house and fully received God and his ministry to lead
me to the right path.Alberta and I quickly became friends.Unfortunately, Alberta passed away a couple of months after my
arrival.

The passing of Alberta really put a strain on the
house and its residents.

After a failed attempt of another house resident
to control the home, I took on the responsibilities with open arms.Using the supervisory skills I learned from my incarceration
and the life teachings I received from Ms. Alberta Green, to bring
harmony back into the house.Now, we continually strive to maintain peace and harmony in
God’s eyes while helping the women learn to stand on their own two
feet.
